he did not come, and 1 postponed the

asked, in professionally mourlrful but
very business-like tones.
"Nobody but myself knew that my

knew it as the undertaken spoke. A
second afterward it seemed to me that
it throbbed loudly enough for every
one to hear it. for somebody rang the
door bell, and knew as well that it was
Robert as though my sealed eyes could
have look through brick and wood and
mortar to see him standing outside.
Softly and quietly he entered the room;
gravely and calmly he asked my moth

minutes alone with his dead. He closed
the door after they had gone out, and
STOPPING over the coffin, gently kissed
me. Then he started. heard the quick,
nervous movement, and knew that 1

HE hastily called my mother, and
the doctor was quickly summoned. He
saw at once that life was not extent,
though he had been just as positive
four days earlier that was quite dead"
"My husband declares that an old

How Little We Know of Each Other.

How little We know Of each other,
We pass through the journey oflife,
With its struggles, its fears and temptation
It's heart breaking CARES and its strife,
We see things alone on the surface,
For few OF rs glory In sin;
And an unruffled face is no index
OF nres that rage wildly within.
How little we know OF each other,
The man who walks quietly by
With wealth and with honor and title,
And holds his head proudly on high,
Oft carries dread secrets within him
That render existence q curse;
Dread seer rs that scar his soul over,
0fcrime, or misfortune, or worse.
How little We know OF each other,
The woman Of fashion who sneers
At her sister whom fate has abandoned
To poverty, misery, tears,
May prove ere the sun rise tomorrow
More deeply immersed in disgrace,
And the sadness sneered at in another
Be pictured upon her own face.
How little we know Of each other,
OF our own hearts how little we know,
Weare all feeble under temptation,
Be our station in life high or low,
All then let sweet charity rule us,
And help one another to win
The crown that awaits those who strive for
Avoidance of shame and of sin.

Mark Twain's Scholarly Attachments.

People who know Samuel l.. Clemens
only as Mark Twain, the humorist, have
no idea of the scholarly attachments Of
the man. Reading his books of travel, one
gets only the impression Of newspaper
man. A brilliant and witty one, it is
true, but with the shallow flippancy, the
frTeverence that is the characteristic of
many journalists who hold few things
sacred and would sacrifice most things to
point q funny paragraph.
Dora Wheeler, who has painted the por-
traits of most of the literary men and
women of to-day, painted Twains not
long AGO, and said Of him that she had
never had among ali her literary sitters
one more thoughtful, learned and schol-
arIy. He would pass like flash from
the maddest and most irreverent waggery
to a grave discussion of abstruse thought,
and his fayorite poet waS-mirabile dictu
Robert Browning. II one can picture
anything apparently more at the antipo-
dies Of thought than Twain's trenchant,
obvious, aggressive humor and the subtle,
SntroSpective. involved processes OF
Browning's mind, they may be able to
comprehend how far one is from knowing
q man solely by his published works.

The white Troops from yio1seurG.

Washington, May 2e-The Vicksbarg
southrons, who made such arrant fools
of themselves during yesterday by with
drawing from the line OF march because
q colored company from Virginia had
been assigned a place in line ahead OF
them, went still further to-day. They
have formally Withdrawn from the drill,
and, it is said. have started fcr home.
BY this course they forfeit all right to
a share ID the prizes. There was an ex-
oellent chance for them to capture the
irst prize of Sc, 900, but now they will
have nothing. Their action has caused
great amusement as we'll as chagrin.
The Northern companies from Mime
sofa, Michigan, Iowa and New York
were sandwiched in among colored
troops all along the line, yet there was
not ever a protest from any of them
They are willing, too, to resign all claim
to prizes if colored men prove better on
drill in the field than they. The Vicks-
burg mems action is looked upon by
democratic politicians as exceedingly un
wise from every possible standpoint and
politically, as suicidal.
